According to a federal court complaint filed November 1, 2013, case number 3:13-cv-01940-MO, a Portland consumer claims the Verizon Wireless store in the Bridgeport Mall and its third party debt collectors continue to knowingly interfere with his mental health treatment.

The lawsuit alleges that in January 2013 Verizon Wireless offered its cell service to a consumer it knew lacked financial capacity to enter the contract.

"The consumer told Verizon he was a war hero pilot who had just thrown his cell phone out of his cockpit," the complaint alleges.

"The consumer bragged about being a personal friend of billionaire Richard Branson, [made] a loud maniacal phone call, and exhibited overt signs of severe mental impairment while in the Verizon store."

The consumer had been released from a mental health facility shortly before entering the Verizon Store, and was readmitted shortly after leaving.
